I'd never fly an American flag. I'm not at all patriotic; I'm deeply ashamed of this country.
Highly ironically - and you may hate me for saying this but... - that you share in common with the other side. Man, disinformation has worked so incredibly well to prey upon our existing division spots and weaknesses.
One side hates this country for how it has oppressed minorities, and committed atrocities in the name of profit. The other side thinks the country isn't committing enough atrocities against minorities. So I would say equating the two is disingenuous.
I did not say that they were "equal", just that they "shared" this in common. And that disinformation has worked against us too, as well as them.
